No one cared about Wu Xiuli lying on the ground. Everyone marked their food, packed it up, and moved it to the cart provided by the team leader.
Lu Qianyao glanced at her and threw all of Wu Xiuli's luggage in front of her.
"We've reached the main group now, and I'm exhausted. I don't need you to help me. You just need to carry your own luggage."
After saying that, Lu Qianyao looked at the captain who was standing in front of them and saw no reaction, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to win back some favor, he actively pushed the cart and at the same time put his luggage on the cart to make things easier.
No one else went over to compete with him, giving him the opportunity to perform.
Wu Xiuli at the back looked left and right, and saw that no one came to comfort her, let alone help her. No one even asked her if she wanted to put down some food. She felt very aggrieved.
Seeing that they were about to push the cart away, the captain glanced at her, and Wu Xiuli was so scared that she didn't even dare to pout. She quickly got up from the ground, moved her food onto the cart, put it away, silently picked up her luggage, and followed behind with her head down.
Zhao Xiangdong smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the two had calmed down. It was nothing for the educated youth to act up. Every educated youth would act up when they first arrived. He had seen a lot of them and had dealt with a lot of them.
But he had to establish his authority as the captain from the beginning, so that they would be able to manage the team if they were afraid of him, and so that what he said would be effective for them in the future.
No one spoke along the way, and we soon arrived at the Youth League Home.
The Youth Corps Housing Estate was a house built on a piece of wasteland specially reclaimed by the team. Recently, several old youth educated in the team got married and moved out, leaving many rooms vacant. It was a good time for new youth educated in the team to move in, so the team did not build any new ones.
But the house is much newer than the houses where the other members live, which are all mud-brick houses that have only been built for a few years.
There were two rows of houses in the Youth League Courtyard. The yard was very large and there were several Youth League members working in it.
The team leader called over two educated youth, one male and one female. They both looked quite old, but their skin was a healthy wheat color, the same color as the soil here.
Yang Mumu knew without asking that the two of them must have been in the countryside for a long time and were educated youth who had already taken deep roots in the Haha Brigade.
"This male comrade is called Wang Jiajun. He is the person in charge of the male educated youth. If you male educated youth have any questions, ask him. The person in charge of the female comrades is Comrade Liu Guilan. They will explain all matters concerning the Youth Academy to you."
"I'll only give you one day to settle down and rest. You have to go to work the day after tomorrow. Remember, no one can be late for work. If anyone doesn't come to work on time, they will be sent back and assigned to the Great Northern Wilderness. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
The captain's eyes swept across each of the educated youth, focusing on Lu Qianyao and Wu Xiuli.
"Yes, Captain."
"Be sure to go to work on time."
The educated youth nodded in agreement in loud voices and took it to heart. No one wanted to be sent back to the northwest desert to open up wasteland and plant trees.
"Okay, that's about it." The captain's expression softened and he became a little more amiable. "Gui Lan, Jia Jun, you two take them down to clean up."
"Okay, Captain."
Wang Jiajun greeted the male comrades, and Liu Guilan greeted the female comrades.
Yang Mumu just raised her foot to follow when she was stopped by the captain behind her.
"Mu Mu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Yang Mumu took two steps back and returned to the captain, smiling and saying, "Captain, you go ahead."
When the captain saw the smile on the child's face, he felt better and he also spoke with a smile on his face.
"Let's talk about this aside."
Wu Xiuli looked back and saw the captain smiling at Yang Mumu, and she felt jealous.
Why did the captain smile so happily at Yang Mumu and let her be the scorekeeper and call her Mumu, but to her Wu Xiuli, he was short of food and yelled at her and warned her?
They are all from the same batch of educated youth, so why does she have the right?
Wu Xiuli bore a grudge against Yang Mumu.
......
The captain took Yang Mumu to the side and explained the scorekeeper's matters.
"Mumu, you will start working as a scorekeeper in the team the day after tomorrow. Before you came, our team's accountant also took care of the scorekeeper's job. Now it's the busy farming season, and we are really too busy to handle it. It will be even busier after the wheat is fully harvested in two days. There will be work everywhere. While these few days are relatively less busy, you can start working in advance to adapt. Our team's accountant will also be by your side to guide you and help you get started with the scorekeeper's job as soon as possible."
"Okay, Captain, then when will I start work the day after tomorrow? What is the procedure? Please tell me first."
"It's almost summer and the farming season is coming. Our members' working time has been moved up to 6:30. All the staff in our brigade office have to arrive at the brigade headquarters fifteen minutes in advance to prepare. Normally, you can arrive at around 6:15. The day after tomorrow, you can arrive earlier, at 6:10. Let the accountant hand over your work to you first."
"good."
Yang Mumu took out a notebook and nodded as she took notes. The captain was very satisfied with her work attitude and liked this girl more and more.
She is capable and proactive at work. She has the potential to do great things, so I feel relieved to let her be the scorekeeper.
The captain put on a kind smile and continued:
"The job of a scorekeeper doesn't involve many tasks. It consists of three parts: recording working hours, calculating work points, and supervising the work status of members."
“In the morning, we register the names of the workers and record the working hours. Then we record the work points in the register according to the attendance of the members. The same work is done at noon and in the afternoon. When harvesting wheat, we have to work an extra night.
During this period, I will inspect the members' work status in the fields once in the morning, noon and evening. This is basically the work. There are standards for how many points are recorded for specific types of labor. The team has relevant information. You can look at it when the time comes. You will be familiar with it and remember it after a long time. This is basically it. "
"I understand, Captain. I will try my best to familiarize myself with it and get started as soon as possible." Yang Mumu closed the notebook and assured the captain.
"Okay, let me tell you about the benefits. The scorekeepers get 10 work points a day, and an extra 420 points a year. They can get more points when the meat is distributed during the Chinese New Year, and they can take away the things that went into the water. Sometimes the public society will distribute some things, and the scorekeepers will also get a share. That's about it."
"Okay, Captain, I've got it all in mind. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to serve the team. I will do my best."
Yang Mumu looked determined and spoke seriously.
She was very satisfied with this. The job of scorekeeper was equivalent to the leadership team in the brigade, and had a high social status. She did not have to do hard labor in the fields, and work points were secondary.
"Okay, I've explained everything to you now. You should go back now. You must be tired after coming all the way to the countryside. Settle down early and have a good rest. I have to go back too."
The captain waved and left.
"Captain, take care."
After watching the captain leave, Yang Mumu turned around and went back to the Youth League Home. As soon as she stepped into the yard, Liu Guilan happened to come out of the kitchen. When she saw her, she greeted Yang Mumu warmly.
"Yang Zhiqing, you're back. Come here quickly. I'll tell you about the Zhiqingyuan in private."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Liu." Yang Mumu took out two more pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to Liu Guilan. "Eat the candy, and we'll talk while we eat."
"Oh, then I won't be polite. Thank you, Yang Zhiqing. You don't have to be so polite. I'm older than you, so you can just call me Sister Guilan. I'll call you Mumu. Come on, I'll take you around our Zhiqing courtyard."
Liu Guilan had a bright smile on her face. She walked forward affectionately holding Yang Mumu's hand, and the first place they walked into was the kitchen behind them.
"Mumu, this room at the front is the shared kitchen for our educated youths. We cook here. Considering the working hours, we old educated youths basically find someone to cook with and take turns cooking. We also take turns picking up firewood. You can consider whether to share the kitchen with others. Go in and take a look."
When I walked in, there was a woman cooking in the kitchen. Coincidentally, I saw her wiping her nose with her hand and dropping it on the ground. She wiped the snot on her trouser leg with her fingers, and then put the spatula back into the hand that had just blown her nose and continued cooking.
Yang Mumu stared at the scene with the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
All of a sudden she didn't even want to touch the pot and spatula. All the utensils in the kitchen were overshadowed by this. Not to mention cooking together, because who knew which educated youth would cook with his hands cleaned after wiping others' buttocks.
